Just for fun I had to do the “old throw boiling water in the air trick.” It worked like a champ as the water started to vaporize and fell as ice crystals.
Some people claim that hot water freezes faster than cold water because a pot of boiling water can be thrown into the air on a cold winter day, and it freezes in mid air creating a shower of ice crystals. Whereas a pot of cold water thrown into the air comes down as large blobs of water. This happens because the hot water is so close to being steam, that the act of throwing it into the air causes it to break up into tiny droplets. (hot water is less viscous than cold water, listen to the sound it makes when you pour it in the sink) The small water droplets have a large surface area which allows for a great deal of evaporation, this removes heat quickly. And finally, the cooled droplets are so small, that they can be easily frozen by the winter air. All of this happens before the water hits the ground. Cold water is thicker and stickier, it doesn't break up into such small pieces when thrown into the air, so it comes down in large blobs. '

I'd like to feel -50 for like 2 minutes, I cant comprehend it.
No interest in living it for more than 2 minutes, though.

With wind chill here feels like 8. Took boys sledding just now for about 30 minutes and they were done. Could not imagine it being 50 to 60 degrees colder than what I was just out in, and the sun is out. Living in North is not for me.

Hard for me to comprehend 23 below zero. That's cold that i never want to experience.
I grew up in Green Bay and this may be the coldest i've experienced in my lifetime. My weiner took one look outside this morning and got even smaller. And i was all, "that's possible?"

Walked down to get the paper in my slippers.

I don't remember anything like this since I was really young. -5 right now, -25 w/windchill, supposed to be 40 mph gusts and getting down to -45 w/windchill. My furnace stops for maybe a minute, then goes back to work.

Just looked at temps in Kenai, AK (where my dad's brother lives) and its currently 33 degrees...
warmer in Alaska then midwest US

It will vaporize and turn to steam.

Also warmer in Siberia, Antarctica, and mt Everest.
We're flying out for park city today and it looks like flights are still going. Fingers crossed we can escape the insanely cold for the cold.

Fascinating thread. Don't know how you guys do it.
Yes, Chicago will be colder than Antarctica, Alaska and the North Pole on Wednesday
Meanwhile in North Dakota

Thus, for a while early Thursday, Chicago will be colder than the North Pole. "The Arctic Ocean – including the North Pole – will probably be around 20 below," said weather.us meteorologist Ryan Maue.

Just went out to start my car(says it feels like -38 here currently). Eyesbrows immediately felt frozen 
On the plus side, my car started first try, just sounded like death as it tried to get going. Car sounds are funny when it’s this cold too. Instead of the *Beep* chime I am normally greeted with, I get a *Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep* in these temps.

Start with the first turn of the key, thats winning in that shite. Can't believe your battery didn't just "frick you" when you tried.

Just read an article about the coldest temperature ever recorded in Minnesota which was -60 in Tower, MN in 1996.
A guy in the neighboring town of Embarass (not kidding) had the official thermometer of the National Weather Station. It was so cold that the mercury separated and a chance at the record was lost. He had three other thermometers which registered -64, but it didn’t count for the record.
